What is Glue Ear?

Otitis Media with Effusion (OME), also known as Glue Ear, is a very common condition that affects 80% of children at some point during their childhood – 200,000 per year in the UK (source: Zeilhuis). Also known as secretory otitis media, otitis media with effusion or serous otitis media, more than 7 in 10 children have at least one episode of glue ear before they are 4 years old, and boys are more commonly affected than girls.

Glue Ear (OME) is the most common complaint in small children with 80% of children having one or more episodes by the time they are four.
